Acclaimed Director Quentin Tarantino to Star in Indie Film "Only What We Carry"

In a surprising move, acclaimed filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has joined the cast of the indie film "Only What We Carry." The movie, directed by Jamie Adams, recently wrapped production after a six-day shoot in Normandy.

Tarantino will star alongside an ensemble cast that includes Simon Pegg, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Liam Hellmann, and newcomer Lizzy McAlpine. The feature film was shot with a largely improvised script, in the tradition of arthouse filmmakers like Mike Leigh and Eric Rohmer.

While Tarantino is best known for his work as a director, he has a long history of appearing on screen. He has taken on supporting roles in his own films, as well as cameos in other projects. However, "Only What We Carry" will mark his most significant acting role in someone else's movie since the 1990s.

The film's official synopsis reveals that Tarantino will play the character of John Percy, Julian's old friend whose sudden arrival stirs up long-buried truths. This suggests Tarantino's role will be a pivotal one in the story.

The news of Tarantino's involvement in "Only What We Carry" comes as the filmmaker's future as a director remains uncertain. He has previously stated that his tenth and final film as a writer-director may never materialize. However, his willingness to take on this acting role suggests he may follow in the footsteps of directors like Martin Scorsese and do more acting work in the years to come.
